New Flyer CNG Buses Order Worth USD 56 Million Secured in Nevada Transit Deal

On February 5, New Flyer of America Inc., a leading provider of sustainable mobility solutions and a subsidiary of NFI Group Inc., announced a major New Flyer CNG buses order from the Regional Transportation Commission of Southern Nevada. The order includes 19 sixty-foot and 31 forty-foot Xcelsior compressed natural gas buses and has been added to NFI’s Q4 2025 backlog.

Details of the New Flyer CNG Buses Order

The New Flyer CNG buses order is valued at approximately USD 56 million and forms part of two five-year agreements with RTC. The contracts are backed by a combination of local funding and Federal Transit Administration support, ensuring compliance with Buy America requirements that help sustain manufacturing jobs across the United States. These low-emission buses are designed to replace vehicles that have reached the end of their service life. By modernizing the fleet, RTC aims to improve operational efficiency while delivering safer, cleaner, and more reliable transportation for the region’s growing population of transit users.

Focus on Low-Emission and Sustainable Transit

The new CNG buses are expected to play a key role in reducing emissions while maintaining high performance standards. Compressed natural gas technology supports cleaner combustion compared to conventional diesel, contributing to better air quality and reduced environmental impact across Southern Nevada’s transit network.

Impact on Southern Nevada’s Transit Network

RTC serves as the primary transit authority and transportation planning agency for Southern Nevada, addressing both immediate and long-term mobility challenges. With nearly 64 million annual riders, the agency prioritizes solutions that enhance reliability, accessibility, and sustainability across its services. The New Flyer CNG buses order aligns with RTC’s broader mission, which includes promoting sustainability, improving air quality, strengthening regional mobility, and enhancing overall quality of life. The fleet upgrade supports these goals by delivering modern vehicles capable of meeting current demand while preparing the network for future transportation needs.
